HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark, in collaboration with Performance Space New York, is pleased to present the experimental opera piece Tip the Ivy (2022) by American non-binary composer and artist Colin Self (*1987 Aloha, USA). Situated between performance, participation, research, and activism, Self always reacts to the local and social conditions of the places where his works are created. Tip the Ivy is thus not only a performative piece of theater, but also a research project that addresses the coding of information through a queer perspective.  In 2021 Colin Self was artist-in-residence at HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark. Tip the Ivy was initiated by HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark and co-commissioned by Performance Space, New York. The performance will be presented in May 2022 at Performance Space.
